Purple Cheetah

Corina's Purple Cheetah

9 x 12 inches, Oil on Board

I received this request over the summer.  My granddaughter, Corina has been in love with the color purple since she could say the word.  Needless to say, when it came time to paint her the requested Cheetah, it had to be purple or so I thought.  But what she wanted was a regular Cheetah with purple spots.  Oops.
 
Well, I sent her this digital and she loves it.  I'm so happy because I don't want to change a thing about this piece.  Process photos below:
 
 
Looks like a cartoon here, but better work is yet to come.  However, I did want to keep the Cheetah on the whimsical side...after all, it's purple!
 
A little more realistic, yet not too realistic.  Looks kinda sad.
 
 
The purple Cheetah is finished, whimsical, making eye contact and will be celebrating Corina's 13th birthday with her,  a week from tomorrow.

Cardinal Conclave

ACEO, 2.5 x 3.5 inches Watercolor, $ 18. Buy with Paypal As of this posting the Roman Catholic Cardinals are still in conclave to discover the next pope.  I'm not Roman Catholic but I do have a wonderment about the this process because it's so entwined in mystery.   This little watercolor Cardinal was at my bird feeder where he grabbed a sunflower seed and quickly flew to a tree limb to perch and enjoy.  After which he waits his turn to return.

Little Dee, No.1

Little Dee, No. 1 - Oil on Canvas, 2 x 2 inches with Easel $20.  Buy with Paypal This is an experiment  to force myself to say more with less.  Painting with less brushwork because I have to!  Also, I don't paint on canvas, so I have to get use to that.  But I am having fun.
